It’s been a tough January transfer window for Mikel Arteta and Arsenal and it’s not getting any better thanks to no bids being received for one out-of-favour ace.
Former Arsenal manager, Unai Emery, is set to hijack a move for Matheus Cunha, whilst Fabrizio Romano has noted Man United want a highly-rated Arsenal defender who has yet to sign a new deal at the Emirates Stadium.
For a team that have genuine title aspirations, not being able to secure their transfer targets at the mid-point of the season could come back to haunt them.
Mikel Arteta and Arsenal enduring transfer heartache

At present, the North Londoners remain in second place in the Premier League table, six points behind leaders, Liverpool, who have a game in hand.
Whilst a potential nine-point gap isn’t insurmountable, it certainly becomes more difficult when the squad can’t be refreshed.
With the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules in mind too, clubs are being forced to be extra careful when it comes to incoming transfers.
Man United to miss out on 18-year-old as Arsenal pull clear!
To that end, being able to sell certain players also comes into play.
Unfortunately, as Sky Sports report, there’s no interest whatsoever in one particular player.
No offers for Zinchenko a problem for Mikel Arteta
There’s just over a week left of the window and the Gunners still haven’t received any formal proposals for Oleksandr Zinchenko.
According to WhoScored, the Ukrainian has only played 90 minutes twice since June 2024 – and both of those have been for his national team.
With no real prospect of cementing a place in Arsenal’s starting XI, it’s obvious that the player needs to move on for his benefit and for the Gunners.
Sky also report that no players will be allowed to leave this month if it leaves the squad short, so that may also complicate any potential deal.
When has Zinchenko become a problem for Arsenal? You bloggers are killing the Gooners with fake news. He may not be the best left full back defensively, but he’s our best creative player that easily join the midfield and attack. Our defenders and defensive midfielders do cover him. If we are winning, then a more defensive minded player like Calafiori will come in for him. Zinchenko is still one of our best players. The club should rather concentrate on how to sell Kiwior, Vieira, Tierney and even Merino
My concern is of our attack mostly strikers my opinion here is we will capitalize on Jonathan David free transfer in the summer to add him with Benjamin Sesko so that both of them will fortify our squad if get both our attack is we’ll settled with our star boy ready to return from injury together with another star boy in the making in the person of Ethan Nwaneri by then we would have sold Tomiyasu and Jakub Kiwor so Arteta will start looking and drawing map of the players he will use to replace outgoing players both of those their contracts will expire in the summer we don’t want to hear we have not much players to choose from in the summer so anything you will need in the you begin now to map them out for we are supposed to win the premiership this season but it not yet out of our reach I could remembered in 23/24 season how man city came from behind and overtook us and won the premiership it can sitt happen again this season let’s watch.
Zinchenko BRINGS Nothing to the team he can t defend hes always being caught out of position. His crossing is suspect Passing 🙄 EVERY POUND BACK FOR HIM WILL BE A MIRACLE
